52. The two oil companies agreed to merge their refining and marketing operations
in the Midwest and the West, forming a new company for controlling nearly
fifteen percent of the nation’s gasoline sales.
正確答案(B) forming a new company that would control
想請教(A)是不是錯在應該用to control而不是用for controlling,加上(B)的句意較正確？
麻煩前輩先進們解答一下,謝謝

(A) forming a new company for controlling
(B) forming a new company that would control
(C) which would form a new company that controlled
(D) which formed a new company for controlling
(E) which formed a new company that would control

句意應該是說這兩件公司的結合會組成一間control將近整個國家月15%的gasoline sales

CDE:which 不能指代兩件公司結合這整件事
A: for controling句意上不通, 如果說改成to control好像也怪, 我想這句話應該不是要說這兩個公司的結合是為了control 15% 的gasoline sales吧@@

你們覺得這樣說有道理嗎~

that would control應該是修飾這家新公司可以control.....
句意上較符合

用would表示可能有nearly 15%也比較好

"for controling" 不對,因為 new company 可以做 control 這個動作,至少要用 "to control" (i.e. 動詞);句子會有動詞,所以選句子.

would 是 will 的過去式.
